Yes that is one top toy shop, it’s prob the UK,s most premium used bike dealer, top dollar for top bikes, a former Norton salesman used to work there, don’t know if he still does.There was one guy who joined this site with the carbon SS model , made one or two posts but sold it last year, don’t know of any 961 owner that actually has one .I’m pretty sure the factory have SG,s one ,that was used by Marc Potter ( MCN) & the odd customer test ride .
This was the April bike night 2019

I suspect these will all be garage Queens. If they couldn’t get the simple air cooled 961 right god only knows what state the V4 is in! Wouldn’t mind getting my hands on one but not for the money they’re going for. Don’t see any vids other than people revving the nuts of them while going no where or falling of them going somewhere very slowly. Tragic

With TVS it should be much better . They've actually got some real management now.

Very unfortunate incident.
One thing that I believe is if you fall off or drop your ride, you must be able to recover it yourself in order to salvage any dignity/self respect.
To require help is shameful, but if you have no other alternative, always make it look to others around you as though you did it deliberately.
And keep your helmet on to avoid cameras.

Isn't it a requirement in the Japanese bike test to be able to pick the bike up?? (Upright only, of course!)

That's why only real men ride Harleys.

Yes, that's why you don't see many Gold Wings in the land of Nippon.

Wouldn't mind one of the new Norton 500's being advertised for sale later this year in India according to various Indian websites. The Atlas makes the line up but not the Ranger, might by due to Ford opposing the Norton Ranger TM, along with a couple of other big names who aren't happy.
